Detecting Methane Outbreaks from Time Series Data with Deep Neural Networks
Krzysztof Pawłowski, Karol Kurach · Lecture notes in computer science · 2015
Hazard monitoring systems play a key role in ensuring people’s safety. The problem of detecting dangerous levels of methane concentration in a coal mine was a subject of IJCRS’15 Data Challenge competition. The challenge was to predict, from multivariate time series data collected by sensors, if methane concentration reaches a dangerous level in the near future. In this paper we present our solution to this problem based on the ensemble of Deep Neural Networks. In particular, we focus on Recurrent Neural Networks with Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) cells.
